Chapter 396 The Holy Lady of Light killed the gods and ascended to the throne!
The members of the Church of Light around Olive were unable to react to the sudden assassination, but for Olive, who possessed the strength of a grand mage, the attack was not so strong that she was completely unable to react. However, facing the joint attack of a dark grand mage and a ninth-level peak dark magician whose strength was comparable to that of a grand mage, Olive only had time to activate her defensive magic.
She had more than a dozen defensive magics on her body, most of which she had prepared in advance, and a few of which were left to her by her father.
Most of the crises Olive encountered could be dealt with by relying on the defensive magic she prepared in advance. The defensive magic that Si Yuan prepared for her was a backup plan that could resist the killing moves of the God of Light. It was definitely not comparable to the defensive magic she prepared herself, so she would never use it casually.
Now the joint attack of the Dark Pope and Caesar is not a fatal crisis for Olive, and she needs to use the life-saving trump card left for her by Si Yuan.
Feeling the amount of defensive magic being consumed, Olive hid behind the defensive magic circle and quickly summoned her beast: "Sister Elena!"
Through the quick summoning of the master-servant contract, Elena's figure quickly appeared in the summoning magic circle. As soon as she arrived, she saw the Dark Pope use a dark magic "Dark Night Curtain" to smash down on her little master.
Elena was furious, and transformed into a giant dragon of light. Her huge dragon body withstood the "Curtain of Dark Night". She stretched her neck and opened her mouth to exhale a giant dragon's breath.
Elena, whose strength had been enhanced by Si Yuan, could now only use a basic attack, but her dragon's breath was comparable to the forbidden magic of the great magician. The Dark Pope was so scared that he quickly put up his defense, barely held on, and retreated with Caesar.
I can’t beat him. I absolutely can’t beat him.
How could this giant dragon of light be summoned by the Holy Maiden of Light? And how could her strength be so much stronger than what was recorded in the intelligence?
The Dark Pope expressed his incomprehension, but faced with reality he had no choice but to accept it.
It was impossible for them to succeed in the assassination. They had Elena's protection, and Olive herself was a powerful grand mage, definitely not a fake who was forcibly promoted to the level of grand mage. If their assassination failed at the beginning, it would never succeed. As long as Olive delayed for a while and waited for the reinforcements of the Church of Light, they might be captured by the people of the Church of Light.
Now Olive doesn't need to wait for other reinforcements from the Church of Light. She and Elena can beat the Dark Pope and Caesar and his apprentice.
However, the Dark Pope has been able to survive the pursuit of the Church of Light for so many years. Apart from anything else, his ability to escape is absolutely first-rate. Even if he brings Caesar, the burden, with him, Elena and Olive cannot stop them.
Watching the Dark Pope and Caesar fleeing, Olive pinched a necklace around her neck, a look of hesitation on her face.
But in the end she didn't use the necklace.
This necklace was given to her by Si Yuan. It contained a time and space magic. If it was used, even the God of Light would be frozen for three seconds.
For top powerhouses, three seconds is enough to do so many things, and it is simply the key to determining the outcome of a battle.
For Olive, this necklace is one of her trump cards.
She felt that using such a powerful trump card on the Dark Pope and Caesar was like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito; it was a waste.
So after hesitating, Olive still didn't use the necklace.
Although the Dark Pope and Caesar came to assassinate her, firstly, the assassination was not successful and she was not injured or suffered any losses, so there was no need to waste such an important trump card to catch two assassins; secondly, she recognized the identities of the two men, and thinking of the plan her father had mentioned to her, the Dark Pope and Caesar could not die now.
Olive gave up trying to catch anyone.
The Dark Pope, who had no idea that he had escaped from the brink of death, said to his student Caesar very proudly after escaping: "Although the strength of the Saint of Light is beyond my imagination, and she even contracted the Dragon of Light, when it comes to escape magic, I dare to claim to be second, and no one dares to claim to be first."
Caesar smiled politely: "..." Is being good at escaping something worth bragging about?
Caesar, who had been hiding with the Dark Pope for more than ten years and had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, still did not speak out his dissatisfaction.
Run, run, run! The teacher only knows how to run away. Doesn’t he know that a real man should face the enemy head-on?
The Dark Pope did not notice Caesar's hidden dissatisfaction. He was still thinking about Olive: "Is this Saint of Light so powerful? I thought her strength was forcibly raised, and she had a realm but no matching strength. But judging from her reaction speed when facing the assassination, it is obvious that she is not just an empty shell."
The reason why the Dark Pope dared to bring Caesar with him to assassinate Olive, and even after Olive publicly held a celebration banquet for her breakthrough to the Grand Mage realm, was because he was prejudiced and believed that Olive could not be so talented.
His extremely talented student Caesar has been stuck at the peak of level nine for a long time, and it is still unknown when he will be able to break through to the realm of grand mage.
But how is it possible that Olive was able to achieve a breakthrough at the age of fifteen? This is simply a record-breaking achievement.
Based on his so-called experience, the Dark Pope felt that Olive must have relied on the resources provided by her father and the Church of Light to force her to advance to the level of a grand mage. She was just a mascot with no actual combat power.
The reason why the Church of Light is willing to spend such a huge price to raise Olive's realm to the level of Grand Mage is definitely to allow the God of Light to exert even greater strength after his descent.
The Church of Light has spent such a huge price to prepare a physical body for the God of Light to descend, and will definitely let the God of Light descend.
Although the Dark Pope did not know what the God of Light was going to do when he descended to the mortal world, based on the principle that anything the Church of Light wanted to do must be destroyed, he immediately formulated a plan to assassinate Olive, the Saint of Light, and he was determined to destroy the physical body of the God of Light.
But unexpectedly, things were not as he guessed. Olive did not rely on external forces to advance to the level of Grand Mage. Instead, she was really a genius. She relied on her own talent and hard work to successfully break through to the Grand Mage level at the age of fifteen.
After experiencing this assassination, the Dark Pope came to this conclusion.
But this conclusion made him feel more threatened than the one he had previously guessed.
The Church of Light actually has such a gifted saint. If she grows up more, won't she be able to reach the invincible level of the Grand Mage?
In the entire continent, unless the gods appear, the Grand Mage realm is the pinnacle realm for mortals. Olive has reached the Grand Mage realm and is invincible. Doesn't that mean that unless the gods appear, she will be the most powerful and invincible person in the world?
Olive is a powerful genius who has the potential to grow to be invincible in the world!
With such strength, Olive will pose a great threat to the Dark Church, whether she becomes the physical carrier of the God of Light or simply serves as the top combat force of the Church of Light.
The Dark Pope murmured, "We must get rid of her before she reaches her peak. We can't give her a chance to truly grow up!"
The Dark Pope's words shocked Caesar: "That Saint of Light broke through to the Grand Mage realm at the age of fifteen, right? Is she such a genius?"
Caesar has always thought that he is the most talented person. Now, at a young age, he is already a ninth-level peak dark magician and is not far from breaking through to the realm of grand magician. As long as he breaks through that layer of window paper, he will be a powerful man standing at the top of the continent.
But he didn't expect that Olive, who was only a few years older than him, had broken through to the level of grand mage at the age of fifteen.
Now Caesar himself is over fifteen years old, which means that even if he breaks through in the next second, he will not be able to surpass Olive's record of breaking through to the great magician realm.
Caesar recalled Olive's performance when she was attacked by the Dark Pope. Because Olive was on the defensive the whole time and her final counterattack was to summon the giant dragon of light, Elena. She did not show much powerful attack power, which made Caesar underestimate Olive.
"Teacher, do you think too highly of the Saint of Light? It seems that she was able to escape the disaster only because of the giant dragon of light she contracted with." Caesar did not agree with the Dark Pope's praise of Olive.
The Dark Pope glanced at Caesar and said, "Just seeing how she was able to react to my sudden attack and defend herself in time without getting hurt at all, you can tell how strong she is."
The Dark Pope gave a brief explanation, but did not go into detail. After all, the battle between powerful people at the level of Grand Mage cannot be explained in a few words. Caesar has not yet reached this level, so it is even more impossible for him to understand the value of Olive's series of countermeasures.
Caesar disagreed in his heart, thinking that the Dark Pope was just trying to save his reputation by praising his opponent because his assassination attempt failed, but he did not openly refute the Dark Pope.
He thought of the big plan that the Dark Pope had painted for him before the operation: "Teacher, the assassination failed, so will you still communicate with the God of Darkness?"
The Dark Pope nodded and said, "If we fail, we must contact the God of Darkness. After all, we cannot eliminate the threat of the Holy Maiden of Light with our current means."
The Dark Pope brought Caesar to a deep underground base of the Dark Church.
This underground stronghold is extremely important because it is the stronghold that houses the altar.
The altar for worshiping and communicating with gods requires a very high cost to build, and the built altar cannot be moved.
Therefore, once this underground base with the altar is exposed, the altar will definitely be destroyed, and the loss will be too great.
Caesar silently noted down the location of this underground base.
It's just that the Dark Pope is very powerful, especially in the use of dark shadow space magic. When he took him through space, he was unable to explore the outside environment and routes, so he remembered this location quite vaguely.
Caesar did not dare to ask directly for the detailed address of the Dark Pope's base. After all, if he asked, he was worried that the Dark Pope would suspect that he asked this with ill intentions. After all, under normal circumstances, he did not need to ask or know.
When he breaks through to the realm of Grand Mage, he will naturally be informed by the Dark Pope. If he fails to break through, he will not be qualified to come alone. The Dark Pope will personally lead him into the underground base, and he will not need to know the address of the base.
The Dark Pope brought Caesar to the deepest part of the stronghold. Caesar watched the Dark Pope use many means to open one defense barrier after another before finally arriving in front of the dark altar.
There was no one in the entire stronghold, at most there were only some magic puppets maintaining the basic operation of the stronghold.
Caesar was not surprised by this. After all, this altar stronghold was very important. If he stationed people here, there would be a possibility of leakage as long as someone knew about it. It would be better to arrange absolutely loyal magic puppets who would never betray to be responsible for the daily operation of the stronghold.
Even Caesar suspected that the Dark Pope himself was the only one in the entire Dark Church who knew the detailed address of the altar stronghold.
The Dark Pope carried Caesar to the altar. Looking at the dark altar that covered a large area, Caesar secretly memorized the appearance of the altar, but for some reason, he felt that the scene in front of him was unreal and distorted, as if he was sleepy and saw double.
But his brain told him that the scene he saw with his eyes was very clear.
This sense of contradiction made Caesar quite uncomfortable.
The Dark Pope saw Caesar shaking his head, looking dizzy, and said with a smile: "You are weak, so you are naturally not used to the huge divine power here. When you break through to the Grand Mage realm, you will no longer be affected."
After all, this is an altar that can communicate with the gods. All the divine patterns on it are related to the gods, so ordinary mortals naturally cannot look directly at it.
If Caesar was not now just one step away from the realm of Grand Mage and was not a Dark Holy Body, the Dark Pope would not dare to bring him to feel the breath of the altar.
The Dark Pope began to perform sacrifices to communicate with the God of Darkness.
In fact, worshiping gods and communicating with gods are not complicated tasks for devout believers and powerful magicians like the Dark Pope.
It's just like two people who know each other calling each other. They each have each other's contact information and have saved the phone number. As soon as the call is made, the other party answers the phone, so the call is naturally very convenient.
But if it is an ordinary believer, it is equivalent to not exchanging contact information with the gods, but wanting to chat with the gods, so he desperately tries to please the gods to exchange contact information with himself, and finally gets the god's phone number, but the gods are not willing to accept his phone number. He can only call the gods unilaterally, and he must also note in advance what he wants to call, and pray to the gods not to give up the call.
Therefore, believers who have not exchanged contact information with the gods, if they want to listen to the gods' teachings, will take the initiative to offer a large number of sacrifices to please the gods, hoping that the gods will answer their calls.
The gods are soft-hearted and grateful for the favors they receive. Just as they finished eating the offerings and wiped their mouths, they saw the person who delivered the offerings to them calling them. So they just took a look. If the request was a piece of cake, they would just complete it.
This gradually formed the custom of offering sacrifices to gods on a large scale.
Caesar had often seen other church members and believers in the Dark Church using various sacrificial methods to try to communicate with the gods, but they basically failed.
However, the Dark Pope before him used the simplest and unpretentious method to successfully dial the phone number of the Dark God who was sealed on the other side of the continent - to be more precise, he obtained the opportunity to communicate with the Dark God.
The Dark Pope quickly bowed his head respectfully and said, "Great Dark God, thank you for giving believers the firm belief to walk on the confused road ahead, thank you for your gift..."
The moment the call was connected, the Dark Pope first said a lot of words of thanks to the God of Darkness, and then briefly mentioned his real purpose at the end.
The Dark God: “…” I was just enjoying the flattery, but suddenly I was told to work. How annoying!
However, the sealed Dark God is very clear that he cannot make any arbitrary demands now, and he must rely on the rescue of his believers to get rid of the damn seal set by the God of Light.
When he heard the Dark Pope talking about the new genius Saint of Light in the Church of Light, his eyes could not help but fall on Caesar, who was accompanying him without any sense of presence.
Caesar is the Dark Holy Body. If He works harder to make the gap in the seal bigger, He will be able to extend His divine power to the entire continent, and even use His divine power to seize Caesar's body.
If his divine body could move freely on the continent, then the chances of his true body breaking the seal would be even greater.
The Dark God, who is well aware of the importance of the Dark Holy Body to himself, judges others by his own experience and is even more aware of the importance of the Holy Lady of Light to him.
The Dark Pope was right, killing the Holy Maiden of Light was imperative.
The Dark God teleported a small scale to the altar.
"This scale contains the aura of the Dragon God. With it, the giant dragon of light will not only fail to help her, but will even hinder her strength."
There are not many things that the Dark God can interfere with. Even sending a scale over brings him great pain.
But when he thought about the fact that after the Dark Pope’s plan to kill the Holy Maiden of Light succeeded, he would have a divine incarnation, while his opponent, the God of Light, did not have a divine incarnation. Wouldn’t he have a chance to gain the upper hand on the continent? He can also take the opportunity to spread his beliefs on the continent, rely on the huge power of faith to restore his strength, lift the seal, and then go to the divine realm to fight the God of Light.
However, we also have to be on guard against the God of Light turning the table over and descending directly to the mortal world in his true form.
The Dark God's mind was in a state of confusion, but his situation was dire after all. He could only try his best to weaken his opponent's tentacles. Even if future developments were not as he expected, they could not get any worse.
After the Dark Pope received the scale, he felt the majestic and distant aura on the scale. It was obviously just a scale that was less than the size of a palm, and judging from the shape, it was not a complete scale. It seemed to be a small piece of scraps broken from a complete scale.
The Dark Pope secretly wondered in his heart, could this scale be the dragon scale left behind by the fallen Dragon God?
If it wasn't dragon scales, how could it carry the breath of the Dragon God?
Thinking of the Great Dragon of Light whose strength had become even stronger than his, the Dark Pope came up with a series of plans in his mind.
After thanking the Dark God for his gift, the Dark Pope did not forget Caesar who was standing aside like a quail.
The Dark Pope sought benefits for his student: "Respected Dark God, I wonder if you can bestow a blessing on me, this useless student of mine, to break through to a higher realm?"
The Dark God is also very happy to enhance the strength of Caesar, the Dark Holy Body. After all, the stronger Caesar is, the more of His divine power he can carry.
When His God descends upon Caesar in the future, the fighting power He will unleash will be even stronger.
As for Caesar becoming stronger through practice, will he be able to rebel against Him?
That is impossible. All the methods of becoming a god on the continent were destroyed by the God of Light ten thousand years ago. Now there is only one way to become a god, and that is to become a subordinate god of the current god.
The Dark God has no interest in recruiting followers, but this does not prevent Him from using this to motivate Caesar to work hard to become stronger.
Caesar didn't know that his efforts in training and becoming stronger were just like a pig fattening itself, waiting for the moment to be slaughtered.
After being inspired by Olive, a competitor who was not much older than him, Caesar became more motivated and stronger.
He studied and understood the insights on practicing dark magic that the Dark God provided him with very carefully in order to improve himself.
What Caesar probably never expected was that after he absorbed the magical insights of the Dark God, his appearance changed, and he gradually became more and more similar to the statue of the Dark God.
Because the changes were so slow and gradual, Caesar himself did not notice it, and neither did the Dark Pope who had spent a long time with him.
It was not until they left the underground base that Caesar was allowed by the Dark Pope to meet his biological parents. When his father Abel saw him for the first time, he was shocked and asked: "Who are you? Where is my son? Give my son back to me!"
Caesar was confused: "Father, what are you talking about? Am I not your son Caesar?"
Abel glared at him and said, "Why don't you look in the mirror? You're pretending to be my son and you're not even pretending to be one!"
Caesar saw the genuine anger on Abel's face. It didn't look like he was lying to tease him. He subconsciously condensed a mirror and looked at himself in it.
When Caesar saw this, he didn't think there was anything wrong at first. After all, he had seen this face every day these days, and he had become familiar with it because of the subtle changes without him noticing, so he didn't see any problem at all.
Until Abel took out their previous photos for comparison.
Caesar was shocked: "Why did my face become like this?"
The boy in the photo has dark purple hair and facial features very similar to Abel, and one can tell at first glance that they are father and son who are related by blood.
But now Caesar's face has completely changed. It is almost impossible to see his previous appearance. Even his dark purple hair color has begun to turn into pure black.
Caesar couldn't believe it: "What on earth is going on?"
Caesar's first reaction was to go to his teacher, the Dark Pope, to seek a solution: "Teacher, my face and hair have changed. Is there something wrong with me?"
When the Dark Pope saw the photo of father and son that Caesar brought over, and compared the Caesar in the photo with the real Caesar, he also realized that something was wrong.
Then the Dark Pope looked at Caesar's familiar face again.
Although as a mortal he was not qualified to look directly into the eyes of the gods, the familiar features and temperament still made the Dark Pope guess in the most outrageous direction.
The Dark Pope did not dare to speak out his guess, and quickly pretended to be shocked. He held Caesar's face and looked at him carefully, saying, "What on earth is going on? How come your face has completely changed? Caesar, don't worry, the teacher will definitely help you find a solution!"
Seeing that his teacher didn't know the reason for his changed appearance, Caesar had to suppress his fear and wait for the teacher to come up with a result.
Abel confirmed through the Dark Pope that the changed Caesar was indeed his biological son, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter if his appearance changes, as long as he is still his son.
I am afraid that this is not his son...
Abel couldn't help but test Caesar several times during his time with him.
Caesar noticed it and said to Abel with a cold face: "Since you don't believe that I am your son, then don't acknowledge me as your son!"
After saying this, Caesar turned away without giving Abel any face at all.
Although Abel is his biological father, he is weak and has lost his valuable identity. Now he lives in a stronghold of the Dark Church disguised as an ordinary person.
Abel is counting on his son Caesar, hoping that Caesar can become a powerful grand mage and help his father regain his fame.
But to Caesar, his father Abel was a burden.
It’s just that he had no reason to break up with Abel, who had indulged and doted on him in every way, so he could get rid of this burden in a fair and open manner.
Even if the hearts of the people in the Dark Church have been corroded by darkness, they will not be so heartless and ungrateful. There must always be a reasonable reason.
This time, Caesar took advantage of this opportunity and pretended that his fragile heart was hurt by Aber, and he wanted to get rid of this burden.
But what Caesar didn't expect was that Abel was much more shameless than he thought.
When Abel saw Caesar was about to leave, he immediately grabbed Caesar and said in a pleading tone: "Caesar, it's all your fault. Don't be angry. I don't mean to disown you as my son. You are my only hope now. You are simply trying to kill me, your old father..."
Abel even burst into tears, and Caesar had no choice but to leave without mercy.
Tsk, what a troublesome old man.
Caesar pretended that he was so sensitive and bad in his attitude because he was upset due to the change in his facial expression, and fooled Abel so that Abel did not realize his true thoughts.
Abel didn't even think that his son wanted to get rid of him as a burden.
He was now preoccupied with finding the real reason for his son's changed appearance.
However, Caesar and Abel even thought of the reason that 'he and his teacher went to assassinate Olive and were cursed and plotted against', but they did not doubt the magical insights that the Dark God gave him.
Only the Dark Pope knew in his heart that this was pollution from God.
The magical insights that Caesar received were all the insights of the Dark God, which were equivalent to a part of the Dark God's memory. After he came into contact with the god's memory, he also absorbed the god's memory for his own use. How could it be so easy to digest?
Even with the cooperation of the god himself, it would still be a terrible pollution for Caesar, a ninth-level magician.
If it weren't for the Dark God helping to suppress it behind the scenes, Caesar would have been instantly contaminated and assimilated the moment he came into contact with the memory of the God. How could his appearance and hair color have changed so subtly?
As time goes by, Caesar's appearance will become more and more similar to that of the Dark God, until he eventually becomes an incarnation of the Dark God.
Although after becoming an incarnation, if Caesar's body is not occupied by the Dark God, he will still retain his self-consciousness, but once his body is occupied by the Dark God once, his self-consciousness will completely disappear, and he will truly become an incarnation of the Dark God.
Caesar didn't understand the seriousness of this matter, but the Dark Pope knew it very well. However, he would not tell Caesar.
After all, as the Dark Saint, Caesar's destiny from the beginning was to sacrifice himself for the return of the Dark God.
In the eyes of the Dark Pope, it doesn’t matter what happens to Caesar himself, as long as it does not affect the Dark God’s escape and strengthening.
Caesar and Abel placed their hopes on the Dark Pope, but they didn't know that the Dark Pope knew the truth but had been hiding it from them.
Caesar was flustered at first and felt uneasy about his changed appearance.
But not long after, he relied on the magical perception of the Dark God to break through to the realm of Grand Mage. Feeling the powerful strength after becoming a Grand Mage, Caesar suddenly became full of confidence and was too lazy to find out the real reason behind the change in his appearance.
Anyway, he has become so strong that he is already one of the strongest people in the world. Even if someone curses him behind his back, they will not be able to do anything to him.
While Caesar was working hard to become stronger, things were not peaceful for Olive in the Church of Light.
Because she was assassinated by the Dark Church and exposed Elena's existence.
Although the Dark Church's assassination of the Holy Maiden of Light caused the Church of Light to be outraged, the Church of Light could only intensify its suppression and pursuit of the Dark Church.
Compared to this, the Church of Light is more concerned about the giant dragon of light, Elena, who had signed a master-servant contract with Olive at some point in time.
The Church of Light had known about Elena's existence a long time ago, but they had always believed that Elena was a great mage-level monster tamed by Olive's father, Duke Abbott. Who would have thought that she was actually the Great Dragon of Light!
So, when the dark dragon Amos led a large group of female dragons to besiege the imperial capital of the Kamor Empire, did he really discover that Duke Abbot had captured the light dragon Elena, so he came to attack? !
It’s a pity that the dark dragon Amos disappeared mysteriously and there was no follow-up, so people don’t know the whereabouts of the light dragon and the dark dragon.
It now appears that the Dragon of Light fell into Abbot's hands long ago, and was forced to sign a master-servant contract with the young Olive.
Then the mysterious disappearance of the dark dragon Amos who dared to come to the door was probably also caused by his disappearance. His disappearance was also closely related to Duke Abbot.
After a quick investigation, the people from the Church of Light quickly found out that after the dark dragon Amos disappeared, there was indeed a male servant named Amos in the Duke of Abbot's mansion.
Is it such a coincidence? A coincidence that is too coincidental can no longer be considered a coincidence.
After learning that Olive and the dragon of light Elena were master and servant, the Church of Light had to re-examine Olive's strength and status.
After all, the strength of the giant dragon of light, Elena, is enough to rival the Pope of the Church of Light, and no one can ignore such a powerful force.
